A couple thoughts I had while reading your post -

As a couple others have mentioned - have her checked for UTI. Pottying 4 times a night at her age seems excessive, unless you allow her to drink a lot of water in the evening. Try taking up her water about 7pm.

She should not be sleeping with you until she is completely potty trained. Until she understands the rules of the house, like pottying in the proper place and not urinating in your bed she should not be allowed on the bed or on furniture.

Prior to putting your pup in the crate for bed take a walk with her. Put her on lead and head around the block or two and tire her out. Don't allow her to stop and smell things just walk. Keep her moving. At the end of the walk allow her to stop and do all of her pottying business. By doing this you are working her body and her mind. Don't make a big deal of crating her. Just say "kennel" or "In" or whatever word you want to use and shut the door. If she starts to whine - do not look at her or use any words. Just make a noise or snap your fingers. Go about your routine. Each time she starts to whine make the noise or snap your fingers. If you have exercised her well she will fall asleep within 5-10 min. Whatever you do DO NOT take her out of the kennel until the following morning. If you do you are only reinforcing the whining to get a reaction.

Best of luck!!
