The looks pretty severe. I suggest you get him to an emergency vet clinic. This could turn into a very serious issue if not treated promptly. ( https://thebark.com/content/paraphimosis ) As a side note, if you are not planning on using him as a breeding stud you should have him neutered. Once a dog has this issue it is common for it to happen frequently.
