Being pack animals, most dogs love to sleep with their pack. Even when we redirect and teach a dog differently, in time, it can revert to its old ways of wanting to "bundle" when it sleeps. By properly housebreaking a dog first and foremost, you can allow them to sleep with you by using the ramp or doggie steps mentioned above, and keep the bedroom door shut so they can't roam the house unless totally housebroken, should they want to get up in the night for a sip of water.
It also could be she has developed a bit of a UTI and needs to get out of the crate to "go" if she is being crate-confined during housebreaking.
More than likely what is going on is Bailey doesn't know it is the weekend, she is a dog - she is a creature of habits and according to her time clock internally, it is time for Mommie or Daddy to be up and about and letting me out of here! She needs to relieve herself!!!Maybe on the weekends, you can let her sleep with you even if you don't any other time of the week and dogs often sleep in too and hold their pee/potty when they do! But she needs to go if she's in that crate and doesn't want to soil it so she wants to call you to her and has learned that that urgent voice gets a quick response the first time she used it so she's probably going to keep it up - unless you respond more slowly or teach her the meaning of the word "No" or "Uh oh" or "Enough/Stop", etc. Even if she does stop crying, she will still need to go potty so telling her to be quiet and not let her "go" would be cruel, so you can't really do that either.
