You need to get the puppy to a vet for an exam. There is no way for me to tell you what is wrong with the eye just by looking at a photo. Eyes are very delicate organs and if not treated promptly when there is an injury or a disease process going on then eye may be damaged to the point where the puppy could lose permanent vision. Please get a vet to look at the puppy. That will be your best course of action. Best wishes.
