Why does plastic water bottles melt when you put hot water in it?

Because the melting point of the plastic used to make the bottle is lower than the temperature of the water that you have put in it. Plastic bottles are 'blow molded'. Basically air is forced inside a small piece of hot plastic and it expands like a balloon, except that this 'balloon' is inside a form or mold in the shape of the bottle. It is cooled and the bottle shape stays. If the softening point of the bottle is lower than the hot liquid poured in, then the plastic 'balloon' wants to shrink again.
