It can be done. Will take a lot of effort and patience and time on both you and your dog. As because he has never been inside before, he really does not know what is expected of him. This is where you come in and show him the ropes.
Toilet training can be done just like he was a puppy. Take him out every say 15 mins or earlier, depends on how much he likes to lift the leg so to speak. Be prepared with lots of cleaning until he knows what is expected. Make it a fun experience for him and lots of praises and rewards.

Yes, housebreaking your American Bulldog can still be done but you really have to be persistent and patient because American Bulldogs are said to be difficult to housebreak even as puppies. They are also known to be stubborn with training though once they are trained they tend to obey their masters faithfully. Establish a regular routine of feeding, drinking, playing, peeing and pooping outside, and getting inside the house. It could also be good to bring him to an obedience or training class.
