Here's the deal, white feces is not normal in puppies... in fact, it is generally a sign of a severe condition (several possibilities) but all of them involve bile becomming trapped or not bein produced in sufficient quantities. It can also be linked to a pancreas which is not functioning properly. That leaves one other option, infection of some sort.
All of them NEED to be treated by a vet ASAP if you want any of the puppies to survive... there's no home remedy for bile not getting to the places where it should, there's no home rememdy for pancreatic failure, and there's no home remedy for a severe intestinal infection.

OK...
There were some ideas on here that it might be hepatitis or a bowel infection. This site briefly addresses hepatitis: http://www.thepetcheckup.com/works/screen/hepatitis.html. Nothing about white stools.
If they all have it, it's something contagious, obviously. Either from the mom or one of the puppies was sick and passed it to his/her litter mates.
It doesn't sound like folks who are reading this forum right now have encountered a similar situation. If you're willing to pay money for the answer, you can go to www.justanswer.com and post something under the Dogs category. (You choose the price like $8-30 or something.) It doesn't guarantee an answer though so... you're really left with taking at least one of the puppies to the vet for blood testing to get a diagnosis.
I know this isn't a definitive answer but hopefully gives you some options. It's not unusual to lose a puppy in a litter that size but if there's something not right with the rest of them, it is alarming.
And if you are a breeder, I would throw in a plug for stopping breeding. There are plenty of pits out there for Americans. There are thousands of pits that end up in shelters and rescue groups. If a pit ends up in the shelter in my neighborhood if it isn't claimed within 1 days it's put to sleep because they can't adopt them out. It's a sad state of affairs. The breed will not die out and while I think they're great dogs, people don't need to be breeding them at the rate that they do.
Hope all goes well.

It is a possible infection being passed to the pups from the milk. Get Dog Replacement formula or (a can of goat milk and mix with water like it says plus add a teaspoon of honey and one egg yolk). Try feeding them formula and see if there's any change in their bowels.
At two weeks, it also would be time to deworm them according to my vet. And worms could be causing the infection itself.
Their whining could be caused by hunger because Mom is not producing enough milk.
I hope this helped you. Good Luck.

I'm really not trying to be rude, but everything that you wrote is hard to understand and almost doesn't make any sense at all. What exactly is your question?

I soo should have gave your question the thumbs up, as it made no sense at all, and therefore fits in quite well.
I do apologise.
