No, Zeus did not get Medusa pregnant; it was the sea god Poseidon who impregnated Medusa, leading to the birth of Pegasus and Chrysaor when Perseus beheaded her, though some versions of the myth (like Ovid's) say Poseidon raped her in Athena's temple, causing Athena to curse her, while older myths portrayed Medusa as born a monster.

In Ovid, Poseidon rapes Medusa in Athena's temple. In McMullan, Poseidon lures her there under false pretences with the end goal of making romantic advances. In both, Medusa is an innocent victim, and in both Athena is unconcerned with Medusa's lack of complicity and punishes her, not Poseidon.
