Why do guitarists wave their guitars?
I'm currently learning to play the guitar and watch a lot of tutorials.
I noticed that on long playing chords they often wave their guitars (slowly move neck up and down).
What is the reason?
Does it actually do anything to the sound?
Is it to help the guitar resonate, or maybe to change distance from listener so he hears more a interesting sound?

It's a way to produce a vibrato:
By bending the neck up and down you change the pitch a little bit.
Vibrato (Italian, from past participle of "vibrare", to vibrate) is a musical effect consisting of a regular, pulsating change of pitch.

Keep in mind that you can actually break your guitar neck this way, so don't overdo it.
