Does sweat scent change if it from different kinds of exertion? I've never had gym sweat smell bad like that before.

Its probably from your sheets getting wet. If i leave my wet clithes layin around without washing them, then wash them later, they will smell weird if i sweat in them afterwards.
Maybe.
But sweat doesn't smell bad inherently.
Bacteria live all over your body (and different types in different places).
The reason sweat makes you smell bad is the bacteria start eating the salt, water, glycoproteins/lipoproteins and whatnot in your sweat, they reproduce and they release gross stuff that smells bad (like butyric acid, acetic acid, sort of guessing here).
Sweat really doesn't inherently smell bad.
But like I said, different bacteria live on different parts of your body in different quantities.
So sweaty feel smell different from sweaty pits because of that, different ratios and types of chemicals produced by bacteria on different parts of the body.
Also my point is that it takes TIME for sweat to make you smell bad. Sweating and sleeping all night will make you smellier than just sweating in the gym for an hour or two and then washing it all off after.

This answer is solid, and additionally different parts of your body will 'sweat' differently. Hormones and pheromones get secreted from all parts of your body, but in uneven ratios based on location. All that being said... it takes time to become noticeable in a bad way.
A lot of testing has shown that humans are fairly good at picking up differences between the hormones of pregnant and non-pregnant women in sweat, and women prefer the unconscious signals they get from male sweat on clothes.
IF you showered and went to bed clean, and woke up with a sweat odor anyway... either clean your sheets or go to a doctor. It's quite possible it's a non-issue, but mentioning it can only help. I have woken up a few times and thought I smelled strangely, but my wife did not notice anything. Since her sense of smell is typically better than mine it's even more likely some or all of the perception was in my head. Your olfactory sense changes throughout the day as well, and if you were having a stress response you might simply interpret yourself differently.
tl;dr - unless you're bleeding from your pores this is a crap shoot. Don't sweat it.
Sweating from excercise and sweating from sitting in your air tight room playing vidya with doritos and mountain dew makes different smells in my experience.
I was reading that odd smelling sweat is a sign of ketoacidosis. Vinegary or mildewy was also used to describe it.

Try smelling your breath, see if it's 'fruity'. You could be a diabetic OP.

Maybe its something you're eating?
I used to eat my food with sriracha everyday and after a while my sweat smelled like garlic for weeks after I stopped.
The worst part is that I sweat like a motherfucker

>Being brain-washed by common hearsay and pretending you know shit about anything
Human pheromones exist, we just don't have the kind of direct stimuli transducers that allow us to detect them.

Congratulations, you smelled fear.

I read a study a couple years back that women can tell the difference in the smell of regular male sweat and the smell of sexually aroused male sweat.
>>36558499
what if you're always sexually aroused?
>>36558509
Then you're probably always sweaty too.
