My dog always pees/poops in our house, and when I tried to walk him outside (morning, midday, night) he's always just sitting besides me. Does sitting have a meaning to poop or pee? How do I teach him to do his business outside?

You may have to go back to crate training him, or else make a point of training him to not do it. He probably does it because it's easier, he received no feedback from you that it was inappropriate, and the habit stuck.
The thing to do would be to catch him in the act, and with a firm but gentle voice startle him out of it (such as by saying NO!) and then quickly take him to the place where you want her to defecate.
When he successfully completes the poo, give him praise and a treat.
He needs to be rewarded when he does his business. He will then learn that this is the right thing to do.
