It sounds like your dog is experiencing significant discomfort around his mouth, which is causing him to pant, yelp, and have difficulty moving without pain. This could be due to a variety of issues, such as dental problems, an injury to the mouth or jaw, or even something lodged in his mouth.

Given the severity of his symptoms, it's important to address this promptly. Here are a few steps you can take at home:

First, carefully inspect his mouth for any visible signs of injury, swelling, or foreign objects. Be gentle, as this could be painful for him. Next, offer soft foods that are easy to eat without much chewing, like wet dog food or boiled chicken, to ensure he gets some nutrition without aggravating the pain. Lastly, avoid giving human medications like aspirin without veterinary guidance, as they can be harmful to dogs.

However, due to the severity of his symptoms and the fact that he is in significant pain and having difficulty moving, it's crucial to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. Immediate professional evaluation is necessary to determine the exact cause and provide appropriate treatment to prevent further complications.
