He's probably stressed. I would soak longer, for 30 min and offer some cucumber if he is constipated. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll poop .

Put the tortoise in a little tub of warm water. Use a tub with tall sides that he can't climb out of, and some room on the floor of it so he can walk around. Leave him in there for about a half hour, but check frequently. Make it so the water comes up to the middle of his sides, or where the top meets the bottom shells.

Scrambling around in the water, trying to get out, almost never fails to make a tortoise poop. If, after a half hour, he still hasn't pooped, leave him in there longer.
