A newly homed puppy that is restless and whines is usually insecure, nervous, or frightened; this improves once the dog adapts.
If a normally calm dog suddenly becomes restless, it may be physical discomfort. Check the abdomen and joints for abnormality and take its temperature. Some dogs whine because they need to go out to relieve themselves and are uncomfortable holding it.
Dogs in heat also get restless and want to go out to find a mate; distract them to ease the behavior.
