If I put a wattle bottle in the freezer for about 3 hours, then I leave it out, why does it start to get wet on the outside?

Water bottles don't sweat, they condense due to the cold temperature of the bottle and the warmer outside air.
If you want to prevent condensation you need to put the ice water in a material that is less prone to condensation such as a Styrofoam cup.

Condensation Bottle

As the moisture in the air comes in contact with a cool or cold water bottle, it condenses into droplets on the side of the bottle. Causing it to beacome wet.

Because the cold temperature of the bottle causes the moisture vapor in the air to condense (collect) on the sides of the bottle.

When the chilled bottle is put into an environment with warmer air, any humidity in that air that comes in contact with the cold bottle starts to change back into water, and it collects on the bottle surface.

The air in contact with the cool surface looses it's ability to hold as much moisture and that water condenses on the side. The same way moist air that rises into colder air condenses to form clouds and, if it's really moist, rain.

SInce the Water bottle is cold, it condenses the air molecules around it. it does not freeze them, because it is losing its "heat". ONce the water bottle is back to room temperature. it will stop, "Sweating". but if it heats up, then it will start to evaporate on the inside.

because the matter on the outside is warmer than on the inside. The moisture clings to the bottle and looks like its sweating. Don't you remeber science?

Condensation.
the first thing to remember is that air can hold more moisture the warmer it is. So - warm, humid air from the environment hits your very cold water bottle and deposits its moisture on the bottle's surface.
