Short answer: Yes

Long answer: I suppose it depends on the way you look at it.

Muscle tissue is technically made pretty much of protein.

However, if by make muscle you mean workout and build it, you will need carbohydrates to carry out the exercise, and carbohydrates are needed to make the energy for the process of protein synthesis and muscle building/repair.
