There are many possible problems going on here and my opinion is sleep disorders need to be ruled out. Occasional sleepwalking is normal for kids, this amount is abnormal.

Sleep related breathing disorders can trigger sleepwalking. Sweating is very common with SRBD.
You should ask for a referral to a pediatric sleep disorders specialist. At this age good deep sleep is needed for normal growth.
