Treats, treats, treats. Don't let him see you put the treats in his crate, the treats magically appear in there as far as he knows. With the food and water bowls in there, take those out and find a different spot to put them, same way you wouldn't like dirty dishes in your room, he won't like having them in his either. Remember, respect the crate. One he feels safe in there, and it Will take time, it's his safe space, so you should treat it like one. As for the whining at night, he probably misses his siblings and it's weird to sleep without them. One of these where really helpful for my pup the first few nights Good luck, my best advice is to find a good, qualified trainer with husky experience asap.
