It is spelled "wherefore art thou".
Wherefore does not mean where. It means for what reason, or why.
So when Juliet says, "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" she means, "O Romeo, Romeo, why are you Romeo?" That is, why are you a guy called Romeo Montague instead of the same guy with a different name? That's why later on in the same speech she says, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Please correct anyone you hear trying to say that "wherefore" means "where".

How do you reword How art thou out of breath when thou hast breath To say to me that thou art out of breath The excuse that thou dost make in this dela?
Why in the world would you want to reword it? It's perfect as it is. Unless perhaps you haven't caught on to the "thou art" and "thou hast" and "thou dost" usage. Back in Shakespeare's day, that was how you talked to your good friends, your lover, your childhood nurse, your pets and your servants. To others you would say "you are", "you have" and "you do".
