If he is brumating he won't be eating or going potty at all.

Not completely clear on what is going on though as you say he was burmating for a week but after 6 days you woke him up?

It is rather late in the season for dragons to start brumating. Most are waking up now or already have been up and about. Temperatures and lighting in your cage can play a major part in determining how long your dragon brumates.

Can you give more details on exactly how long he has been brumating? What are your cage details? (ie basking temp, ambient temperature, how long are lights on during the day? Do you have a proper UVB light? How old is he, his weight before he started brumation and what is it now?) Will need more information to see if he's just a late brumator, or he's responding to too cool cage temperatures or if there is something else wrong.
