Does a 3 month old puppy (about 2lbs 12 oz) need to be fed through the night?

We usually put her to bed around 9-10pm and leave her food bowl there (she free feeds). Should I leave food in her ex pen all night long or should I take it out...reason I ask is because I can hear her eating through the night and she poops all over the place in the morning (and steps all over it)and doesn't fail to knock over her food bowl by the early morning with food splattered all over her ex pen even though she has a night light. Can I take this away before she goes to bed?

This is her set up: long ex pen with sleep area on one end, food bowl/water in middle, pee pad on the other far end. She has recently started pooping in her sleeping side which is discusting (what happened to not wanted to soil their 'den'?

Sometimes she does her business on the pee pad/litter box, sometimes she misses, sometimes she does her business right by her bed area???

Also, is it normal for her to pee all over herself sometimes? her tushy and legs?
