You didn't describe the cage set-up, so I'll ask some questions that may seem silly.
Does the gecko have a heat mat? If so, is it working? Can you describe the cage set-up in some detail, and provide a picture. That may help if husbandry errors are the cause of the issue.
Other than that I would try soaking the gecko in warm water. Place them in a plastic shoe box, or something similar and fill it up with enough water so as to cover its legs, without making it have to swim, for 15ish minutes. It may poop in the water, or a little after, once you’ve put them back in their cage.

Sometimes it takes them awhile to poop. When he finally goes, check to see whether or not there's sand in the poop. If another week goes by and you get really worried, you can give him a warm soak in 1/2" of water for a few minutes.
