function onTime(interval)
    if os.date('%H') == "3" and getWorldUpTime() > 20*60*60 then
        return prepareShutdown(10)

return TRUE
end

Am I doing something wrong?
simply arrive on time and no message appears

You're activating the event at hour 17 yet you are only allowing the prepareShutdown func to run if the hour is 3. There's no need to have that part in the if statement. I don't see a need to check the server uptime either. Just run the prepareShutdown func without any conditional statements.

Also if you have an automatic restart set up on your machine then it's probably best to use doSaveServer instead of setting game state to closed. Like how it's used in this script:
otservme/global860 (https://github.com/otservme/global860/blob/571183a2858e638d49778cca914c8126bd6f17ce/data/globalevents/scripts/save.lua)
