[Python] Maya declaring variables are not defined, but all cases are correct

I'm trying to write a Maya table that allows the user to put in inputs and a name, and then it will spawn an object with those attributes.

import maya.cmds as cmds

def spawn_cylinder(*args):
newobject = cmds.polyCylinder(n="newobject")
get_attributes()
apply_attributes()

def get_attributes(*args):
newtx = cmds.floatField("new_x", q=True, v=True)
newty = cmds.floatField("new_y", q=True, v=True)
newtz = cmds.floatField("new_z", q=True, v=True)

newrx = cmds.floatField("new_rx", q=True, v=True)
newry = cmds.floatField("new_ry", q=True, v=True)
newrz = cmds.floatField("new_rz", q=True, v=True)

newsx = cmds.floatField("new_sx", q=True, v=True)
newsy = cmds.floatField("new_sy", q=True, v=True)
newsz = cmds.floatField("new_sz", q=True, v=True)

newname = cmds.textField("renamefield", q=True, tx=True)

def apply_attributes(*args):
for axis in ["x","y","z"]:
cmds.setAttr("newobject" + ".translateX", newtx)
cmds.setAttr("newobject" + ".translateY", newty)
cmds.setAttr("newobject" + ".translateZ", newtz)

cmds.setAttr("newobject" + ".rotateX", newrx)
cmds.setAttr("newobject" + ".rotateY", newry)
cmds.setAttr("newobject" + ".rotateZ", newrz)

cmds.setAttr("newobject" + ".scaleX", newsx)
cmds.setAttr("newobject" + ".scaleY", newsy)
cmds.setAttr("newobject" + ".scaleZ", newsz)

for object in cmds.ls("newobject"):
cmds.rename(newname)

cmds.floatField("new_x", w=60, v=0)
cmds.floatField("new_y", w=60, v=0)
cmds.floatField("new_z", w=60, v=0)

cmds.floatField("new_rx", w=60, v=0)
cmds.floatField("new_ry", w=60, v=0)
cmds.floatField("new_rz", w=60, v=0)

cmds.floatField("new_sx", w=60, v=1)
cmds.floatField("new_sy", w=60, v=1)
cmds.floatField("new_sz", w=60, v=1)

cmds.textField("renamefield", w=200)

cmds.button(l="Cylinder", w=60,h=50,c=spawn_cylinder)


I've ensured all the fields are filled out, including the name field. The expected result is that a cylinder is created with the respective attributes. However, the script brings up errors that the names are not defined.

Error: NameError: file <maya console> line 9: name 'newtx' is not defined
