To boot and run macOS in a VM, you must first install a macOS image onto the new VM. Installing macOS in a new machine requires the following steps: Obtain a restore image. Set up a compatible VM configuration.
MacOS can be installed on a VMware VM running on ESXi. This can be done after the preparation of a bootable installation image of the ISO format with hdiutil, applying a free patch on an ESXi server and configuring certain VM settings.
Now you can install Mac on Windows with VMware, the best Mac emulator for Windows. Here is the guide: Step 1: Open VMware and click File > New Virtual Machine. Choose Typical and click Next.
This is probably what you are looking for. Good luck!

Yes, I've ran Mac OS in a WMWare virtual environment in Windows. I would say that the exercise is not worth the time. The resulting OS is so massively slow, it's almost unusable. I could actually see the windows slowly drawing on the screen.
And the the VMWare goodies (e.g. drivers) that seamlessly blend the host and guest OSes are missing for Mac OS (as it's not a supported guest, due to it's being forbidden).
