If you were my client, first question I would ask you is in regards to the size of your crate in proportion to the size of your puppy. Unless a dog is sick or has been left in a crate for an extended period of time (more than 6 hours) most puppies will not potty where they sleep. If your puppy is in a crate that is too large for him, he will have the freedom to use the other side of the crate than he sleeps to relive himself. During puppy crate training, the crate should only be big enough for the puppy to stand up, turn around and lay back down. Some larger crates come with a divider so the crate can grow with your puppy.
Also, the puppy should be in and out of his crate during the day, teaching the puppy that the crate is a safe place. For example, when you can't have your eyes on the puppy 100% of the time (doing chores, taking shower) the puppy should be in his proper size crate and should be rewarded when he enters the crate with either affection, or small treat. This will teach him that the crate is a good place to be.
