My 6 month old Chiweenie puppy is trained to go on pad or go outside to potty every time. I put a rug in the bathroom for my shower and he goes on it. He doesn't go on the living room, kitchen, or rug by my bed that he sits on when I'm cooking. He is not allowed to come in kitchen when I'm cooking. Last night he pooped on top of my comforter. He sleeps under the covers on the bed; he is spoiled rotten lol. Help please.

Training dogs to go on pee pads isn't such a great idea.
Some dogs will do fine and understand they should go only on the pads. Others will not get that. they will go on pads and anything "pad-like" such as rugs and blankets.
Basically you've taught your dog that there are some circumstances where it's okay to go in the house. You'll need to start over. Take the pads away. Train your dog to go outside only. Whenever he goes inside and you catch him, clap your hands loudly and say "NO!", then take him outside.
You'll have to crate him at night until he's fully trained. This may be hard for you, but you can't let him go on your comforter or it will unravel everything you're trying to do.
First of all - most of us spoil our cute pets so you are no exception and just spoiling him is normal.
I certainly agree that your first order of business is to start eliminating the puppy pads (and all the odor/smell left behind).
There are many "experts" on the web to give you professional advice but here is an excellent site that may help you get your baby on track.
Puppies poop on bedding because it has your scent. It seems to want your company more
