My dog got a sore on his mouth about 3 days ago and I have no idea what it is but it seems to be getting bigger. What is it?

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It looks like acne. The other possibility is diffuse skin infection. Please, take Prince to your local vets as he will likely need a cream / ointment with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory agent. These medications are prescription-only, so they must be prescribed by a vet.
