I was also going to suggest a leash. If you worry about dragging her, bring a treat with you and leash her up and then lure her outside. She will learn that this is the routine and eventually you will need neither. Longblades post is excellent. I also agree no face contact if biting is a concern. Stick it out for a while longer, your beautiful pup is in a difficult growing time right now.
When my older dog was suffering arthritis she didn't want to get up at night to go outside either. Problem was if she didn't go outside she would wet on the floor in her sleep. So midway through the night I would go and get a yummy treat and lure her outside with it. Worked like a charm, but for her it was a pain issue that kept her from wanting to do as I asked, not a young puppy just not being sure or interested.
