This is very normal as a seven week old puppy is still an infant, and just like human infants will wake and cry at night. Tiring her out right before bed with a long play session, and then getting up 1-2 times in the night for a potty break can help reduce her distress and help her sleep longer. As she gets older, she should sleep more through the night.
