In the first sentence, the speaker is trying to use the noun “Wednesday” as an adverb, which answers the question “when?”
But days of the week are not adverbs; they are nouns.
They refer to specific points in time.
They do not modify any other word.

The second sentence, “I’ll see you on Wednesday,” is correct.
Here, “Wednesday” functions as an object of the preposition "on."
It is not acting as an adverb modifying the verb "see," but simply as a noun indicating when the action will take place.
