Fixed by adding the below code.

<?php 
                        $paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
                            $child_query = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'blogpost', 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC','paged' => $paged));
                            while ( $child_query->have_posts() ) : $child_query->the_post(); ?>
                                <div class="single-post">
                                    <div class="leftContent">
                                        <?php 
                                            $image = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,array(300,180)); 
                                            if($image == ''){
                                                $image = wp_get_attachment_image(11270,array(300,180));
                                            }
                                        ?>
                                        <a class="title" href="<?php the_permalink()?>"><?php echo $image; ?></a>
