Many of Shakespeare's plots are recycled:
Hamlet is retold in The Lion King.
Disney's Pocahontas is a Romeo and Juliet story, as is the opera Aida and the musical West Side Story.
Shakespeare mostly retold stories other people had written down. The only stories which appear to have been original are the plots of The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
He did not. William Shakespeare did not write novels. They were an unknown form in his day. Shakespeare wrote plays which is a totally different literary form. The plots for his plays were almost all taken from stories or history books or biographies he had read or plays by other people which he had seen. He made changes in these plots but he started out with a story he got from somewhere else.
His plays were based on stories he had read or plays he had seen. Shakespeare rarely created an original plot--he just made pre-existing plots so much better.
Most of Shakespeare's work was based off of stories he'd heard from around the country, and from other people's work. In particular he made use of Holinshed's Chronicles (a history book) for many of his plots.
Many of the concepts for Shakespeare's plays were original. However, some concepts come from earlier myths. The basic idea of Romeo and Juliet is very similar to the Greek story of Pyramus and Thisbe.
