Sometimes dogs are stiff after they have had a sleep, but if you can please take the pup to the vets

He may have strained a muscle. Try to not let him jump and reduce the exercise to see if it helps.

Has he had the limp since you got him.Or has the limp just started.Does he sleep on a dog bed.My male dog barney wont sleep on is bed why i dont know he would rather lay down on the wooden floors and when he gets up he limps around for a while afterwards.Maybe you should take him to the vets for piece of mind,I dont think they will charge you a lot just for his paw looked at.And if you arent working you can always take him to the pdsa.
