Snakes do move in a straight line. This is called 'Rectilinear locomotion' which is one among the 5 most common types of locomotion observed in snakes. This movement in a straight line is commonly observed in Boa constrictors or Pythons (extremely useful while climbing trees)
All snakes are capable of the 5 kinds of locomotion. (I will explain if you are interested to know)
So yes, snakes do move in a straight line but it depends on the type of surface they have to crawl on, their speed and various other external factors. The only reason why it is not commonly observed in most snakes is because the necessity to move in a straight line is comparatively less.

Explanation:
Snakes have no legs but they show fast movement in a zigzag manner. The movement is carred out by alternating contraction and relaxation of a set of muscles present on the sides of the body creating series of curbves. The wave-like motion pushes the body forward by prassing against the ground.
