I believe dwg is a vector format. There are a number of vector format converters, that will convert, if not to png, to something that IM can convert from.

See A word about Vector formats, and the section about "Non-IM alternatives"
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#vector

Also Google for "DWG To" or "DWG convert"
