The bug is not solved yet, however I get over this error by using WebStreamData this way:

        $webStream = new WebStreamData();
        $webStream->setDefaultUri($url);

        $streamData = new DataStream();
        $streamData->setDisplayName("Default Stream");
        $streamData->setType(1); // Web Stream
        $streamData->setWebStreamData($webStream);

        try {
            $response = $client->createDataStream($propertyName, $streamData);

            $stream = new CreateDataStreamRequest();
            $stream->setDataStream($response);

            return $response;
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            Log::debug("Error occurred while creating a stream");
            throw $e;
        }

The reason the first example throws an error is that WebDataStream class has been removed (see googleapis/googleapis@a079cb0). This is an alpha API, so you'll want to update to the latest version, and it's recommended you use v1beta instead.
