Crate training and alone time

Hello 🤗 my puppy is a EB, she is 13 weeks old today. We've had her a week. Her toilet training is going wellish, she knows we are happy when she goes outside but it hasn't clicked to NOT go inside. I'm confident she'll get there. She's pretty smart and confident, will investigate loud noises and we are exposing her to all sounds, scenarios and textures. The only thing we are stuck on is alone time and crate. We have a crate which we have adjusted to a small size so she isn't overwhelmed by it She will get in at night and sleep, at first she howled for 20 minutes and now only a few mins before she falls asleep. The crate is in our bedroom for now, hoping to move it to the kitchen/living room which is the permanent spot soon. She will NOT nap during the day. If we put her in there in an attempt to force nap, she freaks out. I don't know should we let her cry it out? Should we leave the room for long periods of time? When do we move it out? If she freaks out do we move it back in? This is so overwhelming 🙈 I am scared we made a mistake getting her, that we won't be good parents for her.
