don't let the little guy run around everywhere yet. take a room or two and make sure that you put down some newspaper or puppy pads that you can get at any sort of pet store. now, keep an eye on him, and make sure when you see him make a wierd pose like he's going to pee or poop, quickly scoop him up and take him outside. mind you, he might pee on you a little, but once he's outside, he'll have to go out there. when he finally does, praise him (good boy, petting, maybe a treat or just a little kibble). do this repeatedly and he'll learn that he needs to do that outside, and that he needs your help to get out there.
now, this worked on my dog a few years ago. if you are really concerned about the conditions of your carpets or this doesn't really work, try to find a dog trainer and ask for some tips (you don't need to actually hire him or her for that.)
anyway, good luck.
