Han-solo sounds very ill. I would recommend that you have him seen by your veterinarian immediately. Young puppies are at much higher risk for dehydration and can become very ill very quickly. Your veterinarian may recommend bloodwork to look for an underlying cause and will likely administer fluids to combat dehydration
