My pup who's 5 months is constantly sleeping and doesn't feel the need to play with me as much anymore and has little to no excitement when he seems after all day

Puppies do go through growth spurts where they can be a bit lethargic for a few days. If Cody seems well and is getting enough to eat I wouldn't worry too much, give it a few days and if he doesn't brighten up visit the vet just to check there isn't a medical reason.
