10-19 m is a really small measurements.
Is Ligo and Virgo only able to detect collisions of black holes or the waves created by the movement of only 1 black hole?

You need an event that produce detectable gravitational waves. The merging of two massive black holes is such an event and was actually the best option for detecting the waves. The key point is that you need some acceleration to generate them.
