I'm not sure there is anything wrong with your little puppy. I could have written the same thing about mine when I first got him - and he's as healthy as a dog can be.
You said ....he ate and was very active this morning and now he just seems sleepy or something.....
He probably is sleepy. Puppies sleep most of the time.
I know when my new little pup was asleep - I almost couldn't even wake him up at times because he was sleeping so soundly. Occasionally, I'd pick him up and take him to another part of the house and put him in a different bed, and he'd never even bat an eye - sound asleep through the whole thing.
And - if you're worried about him and fussing over him a lot - he's not getting all the good sleep he needs.
I let my pup sleep all he wanted (never bothered him) and then when he decided to get up, he eat and we'd play for a while ---and then he was back to sleep for a long time again. All this is normal.
And these little guys are so tiny - they do need to eat and drink - but this doesn't amount to much because they are so little.
Don't worry - I think you pup should be sleeping almost all the time right now (16 hours a day or more). A 20-minute or half an hour play session or being up time - will just get him ready for another long nap.
