Welcome to A4A Ali.
The potatoes should be oK in paper sacks... have you aired them for a couple of hours in the sun... it helps dry the skins which reduces rotting...
The butternut probaly aren't fertilised... try bonking a female ( with embryo fruit) by removing a male (on a stalk) and introducing them....  ;D
