Can you push the flywheel BACK AND FORTH, even a little, with a pry bar?  
 
Was there any event (machine striking something, etc) just before issues arose?
 
A worn block would allow the flywheel to have the above mentioned play.
 
For it to wobble, it's either not seated, the crankshaft bent,  etc..
 
With the flywheel off, clamp a steel coat hanger to the block.  Set the end of it 
to JUST TOUCHING the end of the crankshaft (smooth surface).  Now, from the other end, rotate
the crank looking for "run out" (AKA a bent crankshaft).

I couldn't upload any pictures
I removed the engine today and took it apart
I know the bearing or sleeve is worn lot of play.
How can I make sure the crankshaft is good?
And where can I get the bearing or sleeve

Thanks for all of your help

Use this app, free and works great:  https://postimg.cc/files 
 
The block, as noted earlier, doesn't have a separate bearing/sleeve.  
The crank, being steel, is likely ok, a visual inspection for grooves marks etc 
would tell about it's condition.
 
Measuring the crank journal vs the block opening should show the difference between them
I have a site that posts about everything but the clearance you want to know. 
 
In general, .002" to .003" is acceptable.  Its sounds like yours is way beyond that..
 
Can you measure accurately and post?
