Water inside water bottle froze up right after I removed it from the freezer

So here’s what happened, I put water bottles inside my freezer, and looked like it was still liquid inside. But when I removed it, I saw it freezing from top to bottom (not completely frozen, but hardened). What exactly happened?

It was metastable, and once you applied movement you kicked the molecules rearrangement. It was already at a freezing temp, but in a bracket where it could be liquid or solid. It lacked just a bit of freezing or push to definitely transition.
