Dog is rubbing his chin on the carpet and whining
My 15.5 y/o male unfixed schnauzer keeps rubbing his chin on the carpet and whines while doing it.
He is taking 1 mg thyroid tabs.
He has also been tilting his head. He's not eating all his food at one sitting, which is unusual for him. I shaved his beard off and I don't see or feel anything unusual.

Sounds a lot like bad teeth. Schnauzers tend to have issues, and honestly, he's a senior citizen, and things like that happen more.
In our case at about 13, our Schnauzer cross had very similar symptoms. Our vet put him under and removed about 7 teeth, and he's been better since. You'll also want to do annual checks and tooth cleaning daily if you haven't already.
You're certainly going to want to get a vet to check it out.
