My puppy is being treated for parvo. I’m not sure what to do when she has to pee or poop. She’s really crying to go outside but I’m not sure how to get her to stop and just go inside on the pads or if I should take a pad out and just grab as she starts?

If you can't get her to go inside, you can take her outside and use a pad under her. Try to use an area with a hard surface as opposed to grass or soil in case she misses the pad. A hard surface is easier to decontaminate than grass or soil. After she is done, you can sanitize the surface using a diluted bleach solution. If she will go inside, use the pads and dispose of them accordingly afterwards.
