Simply put, I want social URLs to my blog. For example, when going to www.myWebsite.com/twitter, the user gets redirected to www.twitter.com/username.
I'm also wondering if it's possible to generate them from the theme templates, that'd be neat!
Is it possible to create URL that redirect to external website with Hugo

Yes, this is possible with Hugo. There are already ready-made Hugo themes that realize something like this. For example, the following Hugo theme: https://github.com/gcc42/hugo-redirect
Just put in a redirects section with a twitter.md file. The layout file for the redirect section should look like this:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url={{ .Params.redirect }}">
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
And the twitter.md file should look like this:
---
title: Twitter
url: https://www.twitter.com/username
---
