Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Glad you are here as you will get lots of help for your little guy.

Sleeping all day, not playful and not eating could be an indication of hypoglycemia which is very serious. Look up canine hypeoglycemia if you are not familiar with symptoms. Do you have some Nutrical (a high calorie supplement product) to put in his mouth if he does have hypoglycemia? If not then apply some other form of sugar like Karo syrup or honey if nothing else.

A little one like that can go downhill really fast so don't just sit and watch. He may even need to go to an ER vet.

Getting them to eat can be tricky at first,but is so very important with the young tiny ones. Try giving him some boiled chicken breast finely diced. Use the broth from the chicken breast to moisten his kibble. You may have to hand feed him at first; put a dab on your finger and let him lick it off. The Caesar food is not great long term, but ok just to get him started. You can also try a little cottage cheese or yogurt mixed in; do what ever it takes to get him eating.
