Any advice will be very appreciated.thankyou

No- not at all. Start back at square one. Get a crate and a leash. Walk him on a leash several times a day. When he goes outside, praise him. If you have taken him for a nice walk (20 minutes or so) and he still hasn’t gone, then put him in his crate, wait 20-30 minutes and try again. Most puppies by this age are on somewhat of a schedule. Keep him confined to the room you are in so you can watch for signs that he has to go.
No, he’s only 12 weeks
No – get him used to being taken outside to do his business. Dogs should never be trained to be peeing, etc INSIDE – no matter what their size or weather. Even outside, dogs never pee/poop in the exact spot, so why would you insist them to do that in the house. Most all dogs “trained” on the pads will ignore them or go elsewhere because that is what you are teaching them and their instincts to “spread it around”.
