Swollen testicle can be due to torsion, allergic reaction or infection. i would recommend having it checked by your vet ASAP, if the swelling is too large you will need to take him to the emergencies if your vet is not open today.

    It could be due to an infection, inflammation or cancer. i would recommend taking him to the vet as soon as you can in order to get it checked and treated, it's highly likely that neutering will be recommended.

    Poor boy! This sounds like it may be orchitis or testicular torsion both of which can be very painful. The best way to manage it is to have him neutered. There are many hospitals that do low cost neutering, and I would be happy to set up a consult to help you find one in your area. I'm sure this hurts your pup a lot, and he will feel so much better when he is neutered.
