Why do you have to keep your puppy in a cage? If he is still not able to control his faeces, then putting newspaper down on the floor for any mess is preferable to locking him away. Locking a puppy away in a cage for the night means that he feels isolated and abandoned.
If the puppy is young, he may well be missing his mother, as Catherine has pointed out. He could be complaining because he doesn't want to be locked up. So the answer could easily be to leave him free to be with you at night, in a dog bed, with newspaper on the floor.
How old is the puppy? You say that you give him water at night, but are you sure that he has been properly weaned? Perhaps he was taken away from his mother too soon. Where did you get your puppy from? He may still need milk. You should be able to buy puppy milk from a pet store.
Every best wish to you!
