This is "normal." Take a fecal (poop) sample to the vet for diagnosis, then give the proper medicine. There are different kinds of worms, so they need to check. You don't want your puppy competing with intestinal parasites for his food!

Go to the vet, they can help you.
Not unusual for an 8 week old puppy to have worms. They should be wormed from 2 weeks of age, especially if the mother was not wormed. The vet can give you the appropriate medication, don't use shop stuff.

You'll have to do this yourself.. Take the puppy outside, when he poops, be right there with your plastic bag, and grab yourself a poop sample. Take this to your vet, and he will test and find out what kind of worm(s) that the puppy has and he will tell you what he is going to give you to take home and treat your puppy.
Simple as that, nothing you need help with, just need the vet to properly diagnose the worm and get started on treatment.

Get him/her to a vet as soon as you can. This is very common in puppies, but they may have more than one type of worms and some can cause quite a bit of harm.
Roundworms look like spegett and Tapeworms look like rice, but it's the Hookworms that can be deadly, if they are severely infested with them.

take him to the vet in the morning and get him wormed. Almost all puppies have worms when they are born. Its no big deal. Just get him treated.

Your pup should have already been to the vet (or at least have an apt) to get checked out and 1st round of "puppy" shots at which time they worm them.
But you can also buy wormer in pet stores or at walmart.

It's time for a doctor's visit. Just a hint... animal clinics are generally less expensive than animal hospitals. If money is a problem check out your area's local Humane Society or Petsmart to find out about low cost spay or neuter and general health care.

You can take him to the vets or if you don't have the money, Hartz has a product that is called Rid Worm Paste, that you can pick up at petsmart or petco.

Yea, and you will need to have him de-wormed twice a year every year. Having a dog is expensive, if you take care of them properly...just like having a kid, only he has 4 legs and is half the hassle!
Get the pup altered at SOON as possible (the earlier the better)
