I will suppose when you mean "outdoors" you mean of an outdoor pond in your backyard or something like that. I believe it will really be the same process as when you introduce goldfish to a new home right after when you buy them fresh from the petstore. Here a few steps to how to do it (I think):

  1. Get a transparent plastic bag or something like that of the sort.
  2. Go to your goldfish aquarium, or where your goldfish were previously.
  3. Carefully insert the bag into the aquarium, trying not to stress your fish out.
  4. Carefully let your fish into the bag without agitating them until you have all your goldfish int he bag or bags.
  5. Tie a knot on the top of the bag to make sure the goldfish don't jump out (if they can) or even if the bag accidently slips from your hand (Which will be terribly bad for your goldfish) everything won't just spill out (which would be a disaster).
  6. Carefully take your bag full of goldfish to the outdoor pond.
  7. Float the bag onto the water of the outdoor pond.
  8. Leave the bat half-submerged into the water for 20 minutes or more. This step if crucial, since your goldfish will be terribly surprised if they suddenly go into a weird environment or different temperature (and goldfish don't like surprises).
  9. Untie the bag.
  10. Slowly either poor the water out or let the goldfish go out of the untied bag themselves.
  11. Before doing step #10, make sure the extra water from the bag doesn't overflow your outdoor pond and that you have plenty of space for the excess water to enter.
  12. You are done!
  13. If you have other fish like koi or bigger fish in the pond, examine carefully, because the koi or bigger fish could harass the usually smaller sized fish around, and if this is true, I suggest that you take the goldfish out and put them into another home, because being harassed will stress the goldfish out.

I hope I have been some help, and good luck transporting your goldfish to the outdoors! =)
