Your sweat can smell based on recent diet changes ie if you have added or removed something from your diet recently or even a change in a regular use cosmetic product or soap or perfume. Sometimes it can also be because of dehydration. If the smell is unbearable and affects your day to day life, I would suggest for you to meet with a dermatologist. In the meantime antiperspirants and body sprays can be used as a temporary fix but tests will have to be run by a hospital to identify any abnormality in sweat hence causing the pungent odour.
