The battery in my chevy malibu is very hot. And today I actually had to get a boost from someone because the car would not start. I took the car to autozone to have the battery checked out and they said the battery was fine but I still am a little worried. Is it normal for the battery to become very hot and sweat? And there is a weird smell

No, not normal. The battery is no good and in danger of blowing up. Get a new battery asap and have a real shop check the alternator for overcharging as that may be the reason the battery failed.
