The skull crawlers are related to Godzilla aren't they?

I thought it was stated that they were a cousin species to Godzilla, if so maybe they call out to Godzilla for help against Kong.

Nah I don't think they're even related to Godzilla at all, at most its quite possible Godzilla encountered them in the past, otherwise there's no relation. Besides they don't even look alike.

Skull Crawlers I think are evolved Drepanosaurs, non-Serpentes members of the Ophidia clade (like Tetrapodophis) or basal, land-dwelling mosasaurs (like Aigialosaurus and Dallasaurus), perhaps maybe even a sister clade of mosasaurs.

The only source that said this was one columnist with absolutely nothing backing up their claim. Not even quotation marks to make it look as though they were quoting someone on the production team.

Safe to say they were pulling the connection out of their ass for cheap clickbait.
